Digital BW, The Print

I understand the argument in theory but if adobe RGB > inkjet > press then a
monitor that can do Adobe RGB is rather pointless.  I guess it hinges on
whether monitor > inkjet (if inkjet > press).  I use an Eye-One but don't
think that can "display" a profile let alone show the difference between two
profiles.  I guess I can see the differences on any actual image by
converting to my colour print space, showing gamut warning and using
absolute colormetric rendering for a proof to the monitor space.  I very
much doubt there is anything I can print that can't be displayed on my Apple
Cinema Display.
